Hailey Bieber’s New OPI Nail Collection: Celeb Glazed Donut Nails Bottled

Some beauty trends are born from chance, and one of the most iconic nail looks of 2022 started completely by accident. It all began with Hailey Bieber and her nail artist Zola Ganzorigt, who conjured up the irresistible “Glazed Donut nails.” The inspiration struck Ganzorigt while creating a look that perfectly complemented Bieber’s Met Gala attire, using OPI’s Chrome Effects powder in Tin Man Can Can to achieve a pearly, ethereal sheen. What started as a fleeting trend quickly evolved into a timeless nail artistry staple.

The magic of the glazed donut aesthetic lies not just in the visual appeal, but in the transformative power of chrome itself. Ganzorigt discovered that chrome is the ultimate tool for elevating a manicure, adding new dimensions and allowing for infinite creativity. She noted that simply layering chrome over a basic design, even something as simple as polka dots, can instantly give it a whole new personality.

To capitalize on this desire for endless play, Ganzorigt and OPI collaborated to release the Chrome Effects Collection—a line of four mirror-shine powders designed to unlock limitless possibilities for gel polishes. This collection includes shades such as Tin Man Can Glaze, Chrome to Mama, Pearl Pressure, and Mermaid for Me, each offering a unique multidimensional finish.

These new shades provide the perfect canvas for experimentation. Ganzorigt emphasizes that chrome is incredibly versatile, working beautifully with every color, style, and mood imaginable. It empowers users to mix and match finishes, making any basic color look fresh, unique, and entirely personal. Whether you are leaning toward soft neutrals or vibrant hues, the collection offers the freedom to play.

For those looking for a grounding base, Ganzorigt suggests pairing chrome with foundational colors like Funny Bunny, Bubble Bath, or Black Onyx. For a more ethereal glow, she loves combining the shades with pastel lavender, blue, and yellow tones. This versatility extends even to bold statements; she encourages experimenting with brighter options, noting that OPI’s summer collection, Trip to the Brite Side, is the perfect companion for vibrant looks.

One stunning example of this creative synergy is the “cotton candy sunset” look, which Ganzorigt achieved using several shades from the Chrome Effects line. This demonstrates how chrome can completely change the feel of a manicure, transforming it into a piece of wearable art. The result is a collection that proves chrome has fully evolved from a fleeting trend into an essential technique for modern nail artistry.
